County Clerk B. F. Jones receiv

.opposition did not seem to be in it
to any great extent.

The state tax levy has been
made and is but three mills this
year. This will make the total tax
levy for Lincoln county for state,
school and county purposes but 16
mills, as against nineteen and three
tenths mills for last year and 22
mills for the year before. There
are but two counties in the state
that we have heard of that have a
lower levy than Lincoln.
Miss Anna Diven, of Newport,
'passed through Toledo today en
route to Salem where she goes to
take charge of a committee clerk
ship in the legislature. Miss Anna
' is a daughter of Dr. Diven, of
'Newport, and is a bright and
talented young lady. She held a
clerkship in the '93 session of the
legislature.
Word reaches us by our private
grape vine telegraph from Salem,
that Capt. Bensell, of Newport, has
been unanimously elected speaker
of the the third house of representa
tives.' The Captain is a veteran
member of the third house and his
selection ns speaker is a deserved
recognition ot his ability, and the
esteem in which he is held by the
members.
The case of Lincoln county ex
rel Chas. Booth, county superin
tendent, vs. K. L. Btyau, county
superintendent of Benton county,
was decided by the supreme court
last week adversely to Lincoln
county. This was what was com
monly known as the school fund
case, and its final settlement re
moves the last bone 1 f legal con
tention between the two counties,
all other matters relating to their
differences having been satisfac
torily settled out of court.
County Judge Burt informs us
that he has been notified that there

Any person desiring lo avail them
selves of this scholarship should

who will bring their applications
before the county court in the
proper manner, and the choice will
then be made there by the lot,

Mrs. Prof. Rosebrooks returned
to her home at Corvallis Monday
after a visit at this place.
Money on old accounts is very
acceptable at
C. G. Copeland's.
Last Sunday came nearer being
like other countries than any time
before this year, quite a fall of hail
at this place.
Mr. and Mrs. John Cromer, of
Drift creek, returned from a two
months visit with their daughter in
Vancouver, Washington, last Tues
day. ,
Ex-Gov. S. F. Chadwick died
suddenly at his home near Salem
on Tuesday last. Governor Chad
wick was one of the most promi
nent men of the state.
J. F. Stewart returned from
Nebraska last Tuesday evening.
He was accompanied by his brother
M. N. Stewart, who will cast his
fortunes with the old Webfoot state
for a time.
Tillotson Brothers lost about
thirty head of sheep during the high
tides of last Saturday. They weie
on the tideland and the water raised
up over the dyke. This is rather a
a hard blow on the boys.
The editor hereof wishes, to re
turn his sincere thanks to the many
kind friends of the Leader who
furnished such valuable assistance
during his absence, and to also
commend the boys in the office for
the able manner in which they con
ducted the paper.
Hon. C. B. Crosno, of this place,
has been elected sergeant-at-arms
of the state senate. We congratu
late Mr. Crosno on his success in
capturing this fat plum, and feel
confident that he will bring to the
position all that native dignity and
lofty bearing for which the Hon.
C. B. Crosno Is justly noted.
Jefferson, in Marion county, will
send a car load of provisions to the
Nebraska sufferers. Why could
not Lincoln county go and do like
wise. Out of her bounteous stores
she could spare a car load ol pota
toes, etc., which would be greatly
appreciated by the recipients in
poor old brought stricken Nebraska.
Elk City was certainly out of
luck when her bridge across the
river went out. It will be remem
bered the bridge wns built Inrrrolv
by donations from Elk City's pub
lic spirited people, the county fur
nishing only the lumber and iron.
The people were highly commend
ed for. their enterprise in getting
the bridge up, and we have not the
least doubt but that they will not
be contented till they get the
bridge back in place, and get it
this time so that it will not go out
again soon.
Last Saturday this Bay witnesseu
the highest tide for years. Logs
that had been lying on the tideland
immovable for years were floating
around. The water overflowed the
dykes breaking them in various
places, and doing much damage.
Tillotson brothers lost about 30
head of sheep that were runuingon
the tideland. At Elk City the out
going current was so strong as to
wash out the bridge. It .floated
down till opposite Depot slough
when the wind blew it up the
slough, landing it at Jones' wharf
where it was secured by Ben.
Jones. This is indeed a big loss to
Elk City.
Miss Belle Butler is stopping at
Mr. and Mrs. O. 0. Krogstad's

Dr. Diven was up from Newport
last Monday, and reports several
cases of the grippe through the

Don't fool with a wasp because
you think he looks weak and tired.
You will find out he's all right in
the end.

to enter into a definite agreement
with the parties who have been
contemplating putting in a creamery

doubt but what the creamery mat
ter will come to a successful issue
at an early date. Toledo will have
a creamery in operation on or be

And we predict with much assur

for the establishing of many more
creamery plants in the county.

need all the assistance they are
receiving, in fact more. He could

SAFETY ON THE WATER.
The Inspector's Department's Claim ot
Efficient Work.
Nearly 700,000,000 people carried on
American steamers during the last fiscal
year and only 255 lives lost, of whom
but 90 were passengers, is the promi
nent feature of the new annual report
of Supervising Inspector General u
mont of steam vessel inspection service.
This is a smaller mortality among the
game number of people, we have no
ioubt, than if they had all staid at
home and went regularly to bed, to say
nothing of traveling by rail It proves
trW rro hnro often romnrk-prl
the system of inspection now enforced
is the safest that could possibly be de
vised. Thirty-five of the 96 passengers
above referred to lost their lives in one
disaster the sinking of the tugboat
James I. Nicol off Sandy Hook on a
Sunday in June last, and General Du
mont states that this disaster was solely
due to the fact that the tug was being
navigated by a person wholly inexpe
rienced. It is further stated in tho report that
of the nearly 11,000 boilers inspeoted
accidonts causing the loss of life have
occurred to but 15 of them, defects in
upward of 700 being detected and reme
died; also that of 100,274 new life pre
servers examined only 64 were found
deficient. This statemont shows that as
great care is. taken in the inspection of
equipments to prevent disaster as in tho
machinery employed to run them and
the men who man them. In regard to
the latter no less than 88 applicants for
master's and pilot's licenses were re
jected during the year on account of
colorblindness, although 1,544 passed
the, tosts. All of which goos to show
that the traveling public and the steam
vessel fraternity as well have every rea
son to repose confidence in the inspec
tion byoluui as at present managed.

DANGER IN PERFECTION.
A Prince and a Baron Imitated a Stag
Up to the Killing: Point.
It would be difficult to find on record
a stranger hunting adventure than that
experienced by Prince Hohenlohe, son
of the Gorman ohancellor, and Barou
Vietinghoff recently. They went out
together to shoot stags and agreed to
decoy the animals by imitating their
call on a special horn. Tho hunters
separated, each accompanied by a game
keeper, and went in difforeut directions.
During the course of the day they np
proached eaoh other, and each heard
the other's decoy call and believed a
stately stag was before him. Imitating
the hoavy stops of the animal, they
noisily drew still nearer. The imitation
of the steps and call was so woll done
that they finally arrived within ten
paces of each other without perceiving
their mistake.
The thicket was so dense that they
could not see through it. Both stood
still, repeating tho challenge from time
to time. '.Each still firmly believed that
he was within a few paoes of a real
Btag. At last the prince, tired of wait
ing, firod thrice rapidly in the direction
of the snpposod gama The first bullet
glanced off the cartridge belt of Baron
Vietinghoff, the second struck his watch
and sprang off, the third fell dead from
his pocketbook well filled with papers.
The young baron, though hit three
times, stood unwounded. Ho was so con
vinced that not his follow hunter, but
a stag, was before him that he attribut
ed the shots to the explosion of car
tridges in his belt and busied himself
unfastening his belt for the purposo of
throwing it away. The astonishment of
both when thoy at last found out what
had happened was great. Berlin Spe

A Tyrannical Landlord.
According to Mr. Labouchero in Lon
don Truth, the Duke of Beaufort, one
of the most tyrannous of the landlords,
of England, assumes to dictate all the
affairs of the town of Stoke-Gifford. '
His grace took objection to the election,
of Admiral Close as a churchwarden
and served notices to quit on the tenant'
farmers who voted for him. The duke
afterward announced that he would
withdraw tho notices only on condition
that the admiral resigned. In order that
the farmers should not suffer, the admi
ral did resign. It now appears that Ad
miral Close himself was a tenant of the
duke, and he also received a notice to
quit his house, which has just expired.
He ha practically been evicted because
he was chosen churchwarden withonl
